Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players

Posted by Marty on May 22nd, 2008

A couple years back I became familiar with a group…a family out of NYC…the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players…I love them…they are corky, offbeat and if I am not mistaken…on hiatus while the daughter of the group, Rachel, stars in her own KIDS SHOW…look out…I bet she ends up on TV soon.

John McCain - Rod Parsley

So, does it scare you that McCain is closely tied to Pastor Rod Parsley?

Why?

Or does it scare you that Pastor Rod Parsley is closely tied to John McCain?

Here is a video I found on YouTube

America is god?

This lady thinks that John McCain has a lot in common with Jesus…which we all do…She says she is not comparing McCain to Jesus…but is she comparing the United States to God?

This lady is a nutjob.

How Starbucks Saved My Life

Posted by Marty on May 19th, 2008

Micheal Gates Gill is the son of New Yorker writer Brendan Gill and he was a creative director at J. Walter Thompson Advertising where he was employed for over 25 years.

Michael Gates Gill did something incredibly wrong, he got older…in some peoples eyes, his age made him replaceable at the agency he worked for. He probably was, younger people would work cheaper and would be able to manufacture ideas which increases profitability for his “old boss” who unceremoniously dismissed Mr Gill at the age of 54.

For 10 years or so, Michael Gates Gill, this son of privilege and esteem with a position in society and an education from Yale University tried to go forward with his own agency until finally his calls weren’t returned. People were tired of “Old Michael Gates Gill.” At his low point, Michael sat in a Starbucks, sipping on a Latte that he could barely afford and wondered what the hell had happened to his life. He was spiraling out of control and his mind was racing when a young lady asked him a simple question…”Do you want a job?”…surprising her and himself, Michael Gates Gill said “Yes” and filled out the application to work for Starbucks.

I just finished reading the book How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else and found myself nodding along in agreement with the words of how Starbucks allows those of us who have slipped through the cracks, either by our own undoing or at the hands of some other element to look at ourselves with self respect, confidence most importantly hope.

“How Starbucks Saved My Life” is being made into a movie by Tom Hanks

John McCain on SNL

Posted by Marty on May 18th, 2008

Ok, here he is.

I know he is the GOP candidate and Obama is likely the DNC candidate. I like McCain, will I vote for him or Obama? Depends on who the VP candidates are.

It’s pretty much a toss up.
